I have a problem with this feature also. A fresh install of 64 bit V7.3.3 produces highlighted HEX and a collapse function on data blocks in the same segment address (great!). But on another machine the (older) 32 bit install didnt show the features. So, fresh install of 64 bit V7.4.1 - and the Intel HEX \ Tek features still not available.
To be clear, the correct language (“Intel HEX”) shows up in the “Language” menu of both. But on the non-working one, there is no style available for Intel HEX on the “Settings -> Style Configurator” menu in the Language box…
I have hexdumped the stylers.model and langs.model files on both systems, and can confirm that there are (identical) entries for Intel Hex and Tek Hex on both systems - but the newer 7.4.1 install still wont highlight HEX files…
UPDATE: seems first time I un-installed, I “kept custom settings”. tried again, this time not keeping custom settings, and new install of 64 bit 7.4.1 highlights - yay!
So hope this helps anyone else with this problem - NPP gurus, you will be able to see whether this is expected, or “correct functionality”. I don’t know what got “fixed”, but it is “a solution”. If there is a simple explanation, I would be glad to know it, for the future.
Me, I’m just glad that i have yet another useful feature in an already superb piece of (free) software - well done NPP contributors!
